Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament Collaborates
with Mike Lull to Create Signature Bass
The Jeff Ament "JAXT4" bass available in January 2012
Longtime Northwest guitar and bass builder, Mike Lull, has collaborated
with Pearl Jam’s Jeff Ament to create the “JAXT4” signature Jeff Ament
electric bass. This handmade instrument will be available starting in
January and marks the first time any member of the 20-year-old iconic
musical group has put their name on an instrument.
Capitalizing on a 25-year relationship, Lull and Ament worked together
closely to create the signature model bass. The bass features a 20%
oversized body, but thinner body thickness than standard Mike Lull T4
models, along with a reverse headstock. Jeff Ament personally chose all
custom colors, finish, and wood configurations. The JAXT4 comes with a
chromed aluminum JA
pickguard engraved with an Ament designed
T-bass logo, Jeff’s signature on the headstock along with a special Mike
Lull logo designed by Jeff to be used only on his signature model.
Included is a custom Ament hardshell case with a hand-stenciled logo on
the exterior, along with a bag of assorted Ament custom guitar picks.
The JAXT4 was unveiled at the National Association of Music
Merchants (NAMM) Show the weekend of January 19-22, 2012 in Anaheim,
California and is now available for purchase.
